Meal Prep Ideas for Your Thanksgiving Leftovers

Your turkey may be stuffed, but doesn’t mean YOU have to stay stuffed for the rest of the month. While Thanksgiving is the perfect day to indulge and have a slice of pumpkin pie or five, you can definitely use some of the healthier Thanksgiving staples to make lunches or diners for the following week. I loved incorporating turkey, green beans and my sweet potato casserole into my prep this week. @Chris.Rocchio_Fit came correct with his avocado deviled eggs, homemade turkey breast recipe and roasted carrots among other delicious foods in his prep this week.

Check out my grocery cart full of seasonal goodies at Trader Joe’s.

Here are two sample days from my routine. I still like incorporating a higher carb and lower carb day. Remember to plan you higher carb days with harder training days and a lower carb day with less intensive work. I made sure to included container counts from 21 Day Fix EXTREME.

Hope this gives you some fun ideas for your meal prep. Let’s be real though, if you’re doing Thanksgiving right there probably won’t be many leftovers. However, the store should be full of seasonal items like turkey, green beans, sweet potatoes, and carrots and this gives you some fun new seasonal ideas to throw into the mix.
